Favour timeline — the windows in Singed's game plan

Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Dr. Mundo.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillNeither of you has reliable kill pressure at Level 1 — Mundo's Q cleaver hurts but your erratic movement makes it missable; farm safely and track where he wards.
Level 2Even / skillFling comes online but Mundo's Q range still threatens you before W-fling lands, and his passive health-bar regeneration absorbs the early poison better than most melee opponents.
Level 3SingedHeart Zapper (17s) stores the damage you deal and hands it back as a heal — there is no stun on it, but his sustain now outpaces your Poison Trail tick rate outright, so stop trading and start proxying.
Levels 4-5SingedLevels 4-5 Mundo sustains through every trade you can offer — proxy behind his wave and deny gold rather than fight a drain-tank who heals faster than you can poison.
Level 6Even / skillBoth ultimates are up and they answer different questions: yours is stats plus Grievous Wounds on the trail, his is a slice of missing health back — pop Insanity Potion before he ults, not after, so the anti-heal is already on him.
First itemSingedMaximum Dosage at first-item timing is the most dangerous window in the lane: he heals back your entire Rylai's spike and can chase you with his movement-speed bonus if Ghost and your ult are both down.
Two+ itemsSingedTwo items apiece is a map-control stalemate — you proxy faster than he can respond, but he can mirror your split anywhere with enough items to survive your poison; the Singed edge comes from forcing rotations, not from winning the duel.

How to beat Dr. Mundo as Singed: the early game

Levels 1 and 2 are an honest mirror of weaknesses — neither of you can kill the other, but Infected Bonesaw (4s) chips a share of your current health if you walk in a straight line. Keep moving erratically and put Poison Trail through the wave instead. Learn the one rule that decides this lane now: Goes Where He Pleases resists the first immobilizing effect that hits him, so your first Fling is simply eaten, and the cannister he drops heals him and shortens that passive if he walks over it. Spend a throwaway Fling to burn it, deny the pickup, and keep the real flip for after. Level 3 is briefly his — Heart Zapper stores your poison and gives it back as a heal — so start proxying rather than waiting for a trade that does not favour you yet.
